August Rush

So this movie is about so many things. So many beautiful things. And I don’t like to cuss but after it all I could say was “Fucking lovely.” Sometimes the swears add the emphasis that the nice words can’t. August Rush. It’s about family. Love. Being faithful. About the Purity in Music. In Art. About dreaming. About being fearful and fearless. About returning to what's true to you. Awful tragedy and coming back from it, coming to the triumph that follows. A story that is both heartbreaking and inspiring, heartwarming. Heartwarming, a word I hardly use because I hardly feel it but... August Rush. I got chills. Almost cried. It's beautiful. And, I feel like I need to watch it by regular routine. These are the times though I have almost $40 in my bank account right now, I'd buy the movie anyway. Shoot. I'm sure I'm missing more of what I felt, but goodness! The children were so talented. The adults so afraid. But it all came together. And, it seems unlikely. That could be an argument, that it'd never happen. But, I can believe that with what had to happen for something amazing to result it's possible. That's what makes it about being faithful. Something you can't see but can hear and can trust and can know, and act accordingly. Faith is about much more than religion. And in a way that's all it is about. When I feel my greatest it's because I am faithful. When I trust something is going to work out. When I talk to God. When I talk to my equivalent of the Irish guy with the pretty eyes, that I haven't met yet. When I write, with no regard for how nice, artistic or profound it sounds. When something sweeps me off of defeat, of monotony, of worry... faith. But I could write forever on it. And I would post a video, but it wouldn't do the movie justice. I could post a couple, but I really just wish you would go out and watch it. The worse thing you could do is watch a couple clips and think you've seen, and more importantly, felt, it all. Be faithful. Go watch it. Whether it's the next time it comes on cable (like I did when I woke in the middle of the night though my friends had shown me parts of it on YouTube before) or find it online ('cause sometimes you can't quite afford to buy) or buy it. Do something. Sigh. I loved it! Sittin' there wondering if I found a favorite...
